Hello,I am here to share with you a LO I did using the Beautiful Fika Collection. I use a lot of the colors that are in this Collection in my Garden, but I also use Terra Cotta & this year I made a changes,I planted the Tree Fort area, Vintage Shabby Chic,using more pastel colors, so that I will be able to use my own Garden Photo’s & have a wider color range for Scrapbooking. I have just finished planting & now I get to watch my Babies GROW!!!!

I first distressed all the edges of the layers, then inked the edges with Tattered Angels Dewberry,using a paint Brush. When that dried I glued the layers together,then did some stitching. I used Shimmerz Paints Texturez (Artie Choked) on the Fern Frond.

On the wordlet I used Shimmerz TextureZ (Gritty Graphite) & when that dried I applied some Razzleberry,& Black Orchid LuminArte.

The plants I used in this area of my garden are Castor Beans, Angelica Gigis, & Tiger Eyed Sumac. I applied some black orchid LuminArte on to the blooms,so that they would be the same color as the blooms in the photo.
